The County Clerk’s Office recently completed an inventory on hundreds of expired plates dating back from 2007.
After notification and approval from the Tennessee Department of Revenue these plates were transported to a vendor to be destroyed.
County Clerk James L. “Jimmy” Poss witnessed the vendor insert the plates into and through a 3,000 pound hydraulic bailer/crusher to be destroyed. The plates were weighed at 524 pounds and a check was provided to the clerk for $168.32. A notarized certificate of destruction was signed by the clerk and vendor.
The certificate along with a complete inventory list was submitted to the Department of Revenue.
